Some things never change.

That was a Jim-Dandy of a tale! I had only remembered a little bit from that story as a kid. I wish all San Diego Co. Schools would mandate a program on the History of our own town! Most people I have known and met here might have some inkling of what San Diego was like maybe going back as far as WWII but as for 19th Century and early 20th Century history, nothing maybe a mention about the Missions and St. Junipero Serra and the Whaley House. Great video. I shall forward the whole series to my friends! I am glad to see more sailing ships down at the embarcadero in the last decade or 2. We need to build more and use them for coastal cruising.

Love seeing the history of San Diego. Thanks for you efforts in putting these videos together!

Beautiful old Adobe in Vista/ Oceanside. Guajomi adobe. My sister had her wedding there and it was lovely. Nice park across the street as well

so excited for the new season; i saw this pop up and got as giddy as a kid for Saturday morning cartoons!! thank you so much for all that you do

Can't believe there are so few views!! San Diego really needs to emphasize the teaching of its own history, we can't leave everything to PBS & few precious historians!! Thank you for this data!!!

Blissfully unaware of the plans being drawn up for his demise.

Great ! Video 🎉🎉 thanks 👍🏼👍🏼

1967 Company 207. I have the same yearbook template.

Kick ass program. Thank you very much

I was born on that same day when that event took place.

I am related to the Osuna Family. My cousin is related to the Machados

Thank you. being a third generation San Diegan, i really enjoyed this tour of my city's history.

Thanks! Company 65-489 from September 13 '65 until November 8. 8 mos TDY at Kingsville TX NAAS before "A" School at Millington. Did my 4 yrs + 7 weeks leaving the Navy in November '69 as a TD2. Best 4 years of my life save a first failed marriage.

Great video I’m very curios about San Diego.

Company 158 19 Feb-14 May 1964. Company Commander MMC James A. Hanley, Jr.

We were just there today. Quite a change from when I was here last - in 1990

My younger brother joined the Navy in June 1967, at the age of 17. Being still considered a minor he had to have our parents' written permission to enlist. He had dropped out of high school at the end of his junior year because he had taken all of the courses required to graduate except for senior English and they would not allow him to take it in summer school, which would have allowed him to graduate in three years. He did not want to stay in high school an entire year just to take that one course he needed to graduate. As soon as he got to boot camp they gave him the test for his GED which he passed with flying colors. He had enlisted to be a corpsman, however, he ran out of the room vomiting during a training film dealing with white phosphorus burns, at which time they changed his MOS to radarman, and he ended up serving on a guided missile destroyer, based out of the Philippines. He had told me of a couple times he had gotten in trouble in basic. Once he was in some sort of training handling rifles, and a drill instructor got upset because his fingers were not tightly together at the butt of the rifle. That had been because he had injured one of his fingers playing baseball in high school, and he was unable to force them to align like the drill instructor wanted. The drill instructor got angry and smashed my brother's hand with the butt of his rifle. My brother, who normally did not talk like that, called him a f**king N**ger and was sent to the brig for the racial slur. The drill instructor was also sent to the brig for smashing my brother's hand. Another time he almost got in trouble when he had been dating an admiral's daughter and the admiral had found out they had been having sex. HIs daughter was 20 years old so she was a minor and he was trying to bring statutory rape charges against my brother, until he found out my brother was only 17, three years younger than his daughter. Every thing was quickly dropped.

I graduated in 1974. I think I was in company # 386

Great CC’s for company 072. Great experience. USS Mars AFS1, USS Dixon AS37, USS Enterprise CVN 65, USS Kennedy CV67, USS Caron DD970, USS Guam LPH9, USS Arkansas CGN41 and a few others. Would recommend military service to most everyone although not necessarily under this current admin.

I was there too from September 1966 to mid December 1966.

Grew up across the street from MCRD and NTC in Gateway Village, a military housing complex from 65-69 on Barnett Ave. went to George Dewey Elementary. Awesome place to grow up. There was no color, we were all poor and played outside until our mom’s would call us in at dark. I followed in my dad’s footsteps and joined the Marine Corps and did 21 years! Thanks for sharing.

See everyone! It wasn't some striping away protection for the motocade here in Dallas! This proves that, just like here in Dallas, Kennedy was out in the open, even standing up in the limo!. Someone could've taken a shot right then and nobody would've been able to do anything about it. It was a different time then. Presidents could ride around in open cars and be seen by the people lining city streets and tall buildings. The tragedy of 11/22/63 changed all of that.

I grew up two blacks away. Attended St Josephs' Grammar School at 3rd and Cedar.

I was there, Worm Island August '66. Came from southwestern Minnesota during the air controller strike. Started out by Greyhound bus to Omaha NE then by train to KC, Albuquerque, LA and finally San Diego. What a ride. Made it through boot then on to NTC for Basic E&E then onward across Harbor Drive to the Fleet ASW School. First duty station was USS Haynsworth DD700 out of Galveston Texas. Cruised the Caribbean, Key West, Jamaica, and up to Charleston SC. Transferred to the USS Leahy DLG16 in the yards in Philadelphia, re-commissioning plank owner May 4 '68. Road her out of Naval Station Norfolk till May 4 1970. At 0001 I left Norfolk and headed for Minnesota. Listened to Kent State play out on the radio as we drove across Ohio with three other homeward bound sailors. It was a great start and learning experience that served me well through the next thirty plus years of my civilian career. As luck would have it during my civilian career after the Navy my home office was in San Diego where I had many friends and memories.

I went to NTC in 1991. Not all that difficult. I did learn something very important; be concise with every answer you give. Never add more than what was asked. My CCs were very good in retrospect. One was a BMC and one was an ADC. Both had great military bearing and other than a good number of cycling and some Marching Parties, not too bad. I also lost 30 lbs. It didn’t take all that long to realize that Boot Camp is not the Navy. Your ‘A’ school is not the Navy. The Navy really starts once you get to your command.

I practically grew up there. I took my kids there. It's a beautiful place to live.

Did he have his weaknesses? yes, he was all too human, but he was the most inspirational, coolest, ahead of his time president we’ve had, a president like no other. 11/22/60 was the day he and the USA died. RIP JFK 😞

So many young kids today don't know at all what Kennedy meant to a new generation after WW2 nor what was lost. I've even heard the odd kid say "Whos Kennedy?" Rotten shame!

Is this the season one finale?

June of 1979 , a young 17 lad from England. I did four extra weeks of boot camp there. I couldn't march I was always out of step.But I complete it and served four years on two different ships. The USS Frank Cable AS40, and the USS Butte AE 27

Went to boot camp here in 1964, then IC-A school in San Diego, then shipped out to Pearl Harbor onboard the USS Hassayamps AO-145. The big Hass, great duty since the gyro room was top side under the captains guarters. Many good friends and good times.

I am indiginous in Mexico.

Who is from this tribe? My fiance and daughter are.

strongly appreciate the clip at the end of the random street noises and views of 2024 - really encapsulates the fleeting "now" of the moment, in five years, people will look back to this time. . . . so that style is awesome and constructive

Went there in 1974.

Company 232 1979

I was in Co. 512 in 1962. Graduated Dec 7, 1962. Two weeks leave, then back to NTC for 7 months of Radio "A" School. From Jan 63 - July 63. Then orders for a Destroyer, U.S.S. Lyman K. Swenson DD-729. Was assign to her till I got out in Sept 66, as 3rd class Radioman, E-4. I lived in San Jose, Ca., ship was home ported in Yokosuka, Japan. Came back to the States and new Home port was San Diego down there on 32nd St, usually pier 5. Amazing to have spend it mostly in San Diego. Tin Can Sailor all the way, member of the Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club, and a Shell back.

I joined the Navy in Oakland, California, on Feb 1, 1966, and I was assigned Company 079. By any chance, was he assigned to the same Company as I was in San Diego NTC?

Standing up in an open-top limo?? How was the Secret Service allowing this?? I know Kennedy wanted the people to see their President but this was completely naive on his part. How can a brilliant man, a Harvard educated man put himself in such extreme danger? I believe this was really tempting fate. And this wasn't the first time he rode in a motorcade this way either. There had been many assassination attempts in our country's history up to this point and 3 of them were successful (Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley). Of course, we all know what happened 5 months later...

Oct-Dec 1992 Company 007. Good Times

I was there in May -Aug on 1967

Funny thing, I was there in 1985,had a hungover chief do a hurricane inspection,aokay to drink yourself to death but god help you if you smoke a little weed!

I was there march 1966 Co 272! Was very fortunate to have good CC chief Smith!
